Have a nice excursion - A very nice well-paced excursion that allows you to discover many beautiful things. But also to swim and visit freely

Epic trip, epic staff! - We had the most fabulous day, watching the glorious sunrise on the coach, a stunning boat trip, friendly and brilliant guide around Spinalonga, which definitely had a melancholy atmosphere, while also having the hope and joy of the cafe and games culture. Finishing the day with a quick stop at Agios Nikolaos was perfect.
It couldn’t get any better, then we realised we’d left our wet swim gear on the coach. We were flying home the next morning and had no chance of picking it up. A quick email later and this epic company phoned, arranged to drop the stuff off at our hotel and did so within the hour. They also went out of their way to pick us up from our hotel in the first place even though it wasn’t on the list of pick up points. Absolutely tremendous service, thank you :)

Top price line ratio a must for any Greece holiday - It was really nice and warm from start to finish. We even had a German guide as a small group, but also everyone else extremely nice. You had enough time at the respective stations to look at everything and discover it. The price quality ratio is just great. Clear recommendation.

One of the best days out for ages - The whole trip from start to finish was one of the best excursions I have ever been on for the cost of the trip. It did exactly as it said it would. We are vege and the option of food was excellent and usually it’s an afterthought on other excursions. Coach driver was excellent and prompt. The boat was clean and the staff excellent and the drink prices onboard were cheaper than on land. All in all a bloody good day out

Great trip, food needs a rethink. - This was a great trip and would recommend, our guide Cristina was great, all facilities were clean and to a good standard, the views from the coach transfer and boat were amazing and you get a great snapshot of the different sides of the the island. The only reason for a 4 and not a 5 was mainly the food set up, it was advertised as a bbq on the beach and was actually served on the boat, the food was tasty, but trying to eat a chicken leg, salad and bread on a tray on your lap is a challenge especially with children . I would suggest advertise that it could be beach BBQ or on boat and if on the boat maybe change the food option to a kebab or gyros maybe, something you can eat in your hand. One other point, a bit more time in spinalonga would be nice, you pay €20 to get in but really only have 30min free time and if you want to go up to the high point it’s a bit of a pushed for time.

Pleasant day out - Nice boat trip. We dropped lucky and attended on a day when we got free entry to the island. Our guide (Christie I think) gave us loads of info about the island. The stop for lunch in the bay was good and the food was very good. Yes you have to eat off a tray balanced on your knee if can't get space on bench but so what!

Spialonga is worth a visit - Exciting visit to spinalonga. The trip there took close to 3 hours! Because many other tourists had to be picked up at many destinations. So it became more than 5 hours of driving in total. But good tour guide.
